Ideally, in a troubled relationship, both partners would be motivated and willing to do what it took to improve their
relationship -- including counseling. But, in the real world, one person is often more interested, more ready, or more
willing than the other to take definitive steps toward improving the quality of the relationship.
Often, people give up on the idea of going to relationship counseling because their significant other refuses to go.
However, even small changes one person makes can have far-reaching effects on the relationship. This is why both
partners do not have to attend counseling. Many positive changes can come from the work one partner does in therapy.
Being in a troubled relationship can be very lonely, but you don't have to work at it alone.
